Kaladaa Crowell, 36, was shot to death on December 28, 2017, at a West Palm Beach home she shared with family. Her 11-year-old daughter, Kyra Inglett, was also fatally shot that day. Both victims were killed by Marlin Joseph, a 29-year-old man who lived in the same household.

Joseph had complained previously about how Kyra treated his child. On the day of the killings, Joseph’s daughter texted him about an incident; although the matter seemed to subside, an argument later erupted when Crowell returned home. Joseph shot Crowell in the head as she pleaded for help, then chased Kyra from the house and shot her five times before fleeing in Crowell’s car.

Joseph was arrested and later convicted by a jury in February 2020 of two counts of first-degree murder; the jury recommended death. Court proceedings and sentencing are described in later records. If anyone knew Kaladaa Crowell or Kyra Inglett, or has information about the household where they lived, please share what is known.
